Yay, knitting!

Yay, knitting!

can you believe they pay me to do this?
can you believe they pay me to do this?

So what's this then?

Welcome to my blog. I'm a knitter, voraciously and vociferously so. I am fortunate enough to be working in a yarn store in Saratoga, CA, where I'm Knitting Doctor and Teacher of Workshops.


Since I still have to work for a living, I am also a webdesigner.

Originally from Sweden, I now live (with my hubby, 2 daughters, and 2 cats) in Santa Cruz, CA.

Jan announced today that she is closing Knitting Arts. The store was open for almost five years, I worked there for 3 1/2 of them. It was a wonderful place with fantastic regulars and an incredible community, of which I was personally quite proud.

OMG! I got to Knitting Arts today, had the cupcake class (fun!), hung out, and then had the best. cake. ever. Jennifer made it, and it was just like birthday cake back home! Then Carol (Singing Carol) handed me a gift that was tube shaped. The thought "poster?" went through my head, but it was heavier than that. Ripping off the paper, I discover a plastic tube with objects wrapped in purple tissue paper. After some fighting to get the tube opened, I unveil... SIGNATURE KNITTING NEEDLES!!! ZOMG!!!11!eleventy!! 3 pairs, sizes 8, 9 and 10. These are the coolest things ever, and apparently everyone knew and they'd been planning this since March!!! I drooled over them at Stitches West, but couldn't really see spending the money. I was SO surprised and am so touched. I love these people :)
